# The Rail Vehicle Accessibility (Central Trains Class 170/5 and Class 170/6 Vehicles) Exemption Order 2000, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order authorises the use of specified rail vehicles forming Class 170/5 and Class 170/6 diesel multiple-units, although they do not conform with certain requirements of the Rail Vehicle Accessibility Regulations 1998 because:
warning sounds are emitted whenever the passenger doors in the sides of the vehicles are closed;
passenger operation of some doors is by means of beam operated door sensors;
some of the door controls are not at the required height; and
the interior visual public address systems does not display the required information
It sets time limits on the authorisation and imposes conditions.
Central Trains previously had certain exemptions for some of the vehicles covered by this Order by virtue of the Rail Vehicle Accessibility (Central Trains Class 170/5 Vehicles) Exemption Order, which is revoked by this order.
